VMware 16.2.4 linux host windows guest lags after some time

Hello, I'm running into the issue where windows 10 VM would start to lag a lot after some time. It would freeze for half a minute and then work fine for a minute and then freeze again. This happens after around 5minutes of VM being on.

My system info:

System:
Kernel: 5.15.0-47-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 11.2.0
Desktop: Cinnamon 5.4.12 Distro: Linux Mint 21 Vanessa
base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy

I tried updating my kernel, restarting, changing VM options, disabling swap file but nothing seems to help.

My VM is currently using:

12 GB of ram (32GB available in host)

3 CPU cores (intel i7 1260p 16 threads)

250GB HDD drive (split into smaller files in filesystem)

VMWare tools enabled, no encryption

 

Any ideas are appreciated

It appears that I had "Synchronize guest time with host" enabled in VMWare tools. Disabling it seems to solve it
